RULES: Post 5 songs associated with your OC, followed by 4 outfits they would wear or their style ♡

Thank you for the tag @psalacanthea!

Doing this for my Durge Eirlys since they're currently my main OC.

This has been sitting in my drafts for a few days because I've been very low energy and couldn't figure out more than 2 for each lol but here it is!

5 songs:

Serial Killers Know How to Party - Schoolyard Heroes

Wave of Mutilation (UK Surf) - Pixies

Creep - Radiohead

Rub 'Till It Bleeds - PJ Harvey

Transcendental Étude nº4 (Mazeppa) - Franz Liszt

4 outfits/style (lots of rambling about it under the cut):

First and second pic is how I imagine Eirlys would prefer to present when they were Bhaalist. Skin-tight clothing, black, lots of leather as well as some metal, something to cover their face when out to kill. Practical but pretty, and probably some matching pants and boots with good mobility. The main idea is showing as little skin as possible while maintaining a distinguishable silhouette. No visible Bhaalist skulls to differentiate themselves from the rest of the worshipers. Instead of gloves, I like the idea of gauntlets with claws (sharper than in the picture) to slice flesh with their own hands. I just think it's neat!

Now, post-tadpole you bet they were thrown in the nautiloid with nothing but rags. And it's not like there are many clothes available for sale until they reach Baldur's Gate, so... They make do with what they find. Lots of more skin visible, Eirlys gets reckless and they don't care anymore about showing Frankenstein scars or what have you. Full on "monster" mode, they really feel like a feral beast that has to be kept in a cage. They don't think they deserve any better.

Last picture is post-game! I know, it's a modern outfit, but I couldn't find anything more fantasy-like that matched what I wanted lol. Think practical leather armour with minimum adornments, lots of pins and stitches. But also they're a slut, so, sexy. They want to wear something that matches their edgyness, is practical for adventuring with Astarion and feels comfortable. All black because old habits die hard, hah!

Tagging @thedomesticanthropologist because I thought you might like to do this one :) If not that's okay too!
